“No room at the Inn” is a biblical reference about immigrants (Jesus’ parents) being turned away. Not the government. Way to go, Hilton! The 3rd Amendment protects private entities from having to house the government.

The tactical abilities of US special operations forces are impressive, but we already knew that and it's beside the point here.
The most tactically brilliant military action means nothing, or can be actively detrimental, when undertaken on behalf of bad strategy. As is the case with US-Venezuela.

This vile new Stephen Miller tweet, along with the news that Miller may run the occupation of Venezuela, is a good time for you to read our deep dive into Miller's actual worldview and agenda, especially this part comparing Miller's language with Pat Buchanan's:

This video, viewed millions of times on TikTok, Facebook and X, claims to show Venezuelans taking to the street to thank the US for detaining Maduro.
But the video is a combination of four AI-generated clips and was first posted on TikTok by a user who frequently shares AI videos. It's not real.

This video, shared by Alex Jones and others, falsely claims to show millions of Venezuelans in Caracas celebrating Maduro's capture.
In fact, it shows anti-Maduro protests in July 2024 over a highly disputed election.

They kidnapped the head of a Latin American country, replaced him with an insecure white racist who has spent his entire life arguing that Latinos are subhuman, and made clear that their primary aim is to plunder the country for its resources.

You can be glad Maduro is no longer in power and still object to the manner in which the U.S. ousted him and be concerned about the lack of a viable plan going forward.

Tomorrow is the 5th anniversary of the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol.
I’m proud of the work we did on the House January 6th Committee.
January 6th should’ve been the end of a political movement based on a cult of personality, conspiracism, extremism & lies. Instead, it is now in power.

"As Elizabeth Saunders said, 'we have the foreign policy of a personalist dictatorship' — and the dictator’s preference is watching TV shows in which the military blows things up at his whim. What could go wrong? We’ll soon find out."

My position on impeachment is the same as it was six months ago: Impeachment is first about driving public attention to Trump’s crimes and corruption.
Democrats should introduce impeachment articles and force votes to boost their parallel media effort.
Performative public investigations matter.

Why push for impeachment?
Because politics is an exercise in moving public opinion as much as counting votes in the senate.
The Jan 6 Hearings were not a criminal proceeding against Trump that would end in jail, but they focused public attention.

Trump is weak at home, and he can be stopped – so long as the domestic political logic of foreign intervention is recognized and turned against him. This act of war is about regime change in the United States. It only succeeds if Americans allow it to do so.
